Ensuring availability of Eukanuba and Iams in Austria

As announced P&G's Austrian DSR Koch GmbH & Co KG has filed for bankruptcy on Nov 18th 2008. P&G Pet Care regrets this development and has been working full speed to find a new supply source for Eukanuba and Iams in Austria.

In order to secure availability and delivery of goods in Austria, P&G Pet Care agreed for the Austrian wholesaler VITAFORM GmbH & Co KG, owner Ing. U. Andreas Hirschhofer, to act as interim service provider to ship Eukanuba and Iams products as of today. VITAFORM is established for many years as an independent and trustworthy Austrian wholesaler with a set of customers similar to Koch GmbH & Co KG. Because of this the company is highly qualified to take over this task for an immediate solution to secure supply of Eukanuba and Iams to the Austrian market.
